Margot was working out holiday travel plans and asked me about the timing of my final exams. I had her bring up my email on her computer so she could check my calendar. Once we were done, she asked me, "Can I send spam from your account?"
"Sure."
"You just said so because you know I wouldn't really do it."
"That's because you're an ethical person."
"Mostly."
Okay, I'll bite. "In what sort of situation would you not be an ethical person?"
"When yarn is involved."
"What would you do for yarn?"
Pause.
"Kill kittens."*
I love this girl.
* For any kittens who happen to run across this blog entry and aren't sure whether or not to take Margot at her word, be assured that you are completely safe. There are two kittens that have lived in close harmony with Margot for over a decade, and they would gladly provide glowing references as to her sterling moral character, as well as her love and devotion to the fur-beasts in question. One of the reasons this is so amusing is Margot's complete aversion to violence, her adoration of kitties, and the soft spot in her heart for the completely adorable antics of kittens. Should you feel threatened by Margot for whatever reason, blink your big kitten eyes at her, lick your chops innocently, flip over and show her your belly, while holding your paws like a little T-Rex, and try not to burp up any of her yarn.
